JHULAN GOSWAMI BECOMES FIRST BOWLER TO CLAIM 250 WICKETS IN WOMEN’S ODIs

(The Quiver): India’s Jhulan Goswami has become the highest wicket taker in Women’s ODIs by claiming 250 wickets, a massive milestone in women’s cricket. Jhulan Goswami achieved the historic feat with the wicket of Tammy Beaumont in India’s match against England in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 on March 16, 2022.

The 39-year-old has become the first-ever woman bowler to breach the 250 mark. The achievement comes just three days after Jhulan Goswami became the all-time highest wicket-taker in the history of the Women’s World Cup with 40 wickets, surpassing Australia’s Lynn Fullston.

Jhulan Goswami is also the only bowler to take over 200 wickets in Women’s ODIs. The second-highest wicket-taker in Women’s ODIs is Australia’s Cathryn Fitzpatrick who has taken 180 wickets.
